Download them from my link, yes I know I could have set up Manychat - but I haven't so you will need to do it the 'old school' way. Off to my bio you go!! 

It is free on a Google link so no need to enter any details!

How can you use these flashcards

1. Picture Vocab -Print off and just show the pictures and ask for the vocabulary.

2. Mix and Match- Print off and cut out and see if they can match the correct word with the correct picture.

3. Treasure hunt - finding the items in the house, or you can plant the pictures outside and they just have the names.

4. Memory - print them out a couple of times, play memory. They only get the pair if they can name the item in your language of choice. 

HAVE FUN!

Charlotte Mason reminds us:
Children learn languages naturally — through hearing, imitating, and being immersed in real, meaningful experiences. Just think about how you and your child learnt your mother tongue!
This is exactly why outdoor learning, stories, crafts and gentle exposure work so brilliantly . 🌿

🇩🇪 Charlotte Mason erinnert uns daran:
Kinder lernen Sprachen ganz natürlich – durch Hören, Nachahmen und durch echte Erlebnisse.
Darum funktionieren Lernen in der Natur, Geschichten, Basteln und sanfte Sprachimpulse so wunderbar. 🌿
